First session of Indian National Congress was held in ______. 

Bombay

The correct answer is Option 2- Bombay

The first session of the Indian National Congress was held in 1885 in Bombay under the Presidentship of W.C Bonnerjee.

The Indian National Congress (INC) emerged in 1885 amidst India's struggle against British colonial rule. Founded in Bombay (now Mumbai) by Allan Octavian Hume and prominent Indian leaders, the INC initially served as a platform for educated Indians to advocate for political and social reforms. Over time, it evolved into the primary political force in India's independence movement, mobilizing leaders like Dadabhai Naoroji, Bal Gangadhar Tilak, and Mahatma Gandhi. Through movements like Non-Cooperation, Civil Disobedience, and Quit India, the INC galvanized mass support for independence, ultimately leading to India's liberation from British rule on August 15, 1947. Post-independence, the INC became the dominant political party in India, shaping the nation's political landscape for decades to come.
